Long Crafters Poems

In all my modest travels abroad,
believe me when I say
’tween the tigris and euphrates I’ve trod,
and seen a Great Lighthouse by the Bay;’

A magnificent construct, endlessly tall,
seemingly to the heavens it rose,
but no light shown...

and changing them - around, and 'round again

to sound around some pleasing refrain

what's to be gained, again, a chorus refrain

	God Bottles Those Tears
	Shed For
	 Fallen Roses
	In Memory Of a Friend
	Written: By Tom Wright

	Sleep,
	Lay heavy o'er the room.
	Fading fast, a single Rose,
	That once you held, full in bloom,
	And some will say, it's too late...

The Temptress And Her Dark Spread Wicked Web

Your course was chosen, waiting for you to find it
Love came forth and you sought to forever bind it
Yet earth and sky saw your scheming inner spirit
And in...

In another narcoleptic nightmare,
along crepuscular curbs
I am endlessly stalked by the depraved. 
Their railing against conspiring contrivances.
These gaslighting doctors of spin.

On every corner a barking Icke or Alex Jones,
On every path a fear-mongering Judy Mikovits.

Yesterday was Button Day;
I somehow let it slip
Or maybe I just chose instead
To button up my lip.

Begun in 1938,
This date was set aside
To celebrate the crafters
Who keep notions stores supplied.

For think about your buttons –...

God, Bottles Our Tears
shed
For Fallen Roses
By: Tom Wright

Sleep,
lay heavy o'er the room.
Fading fast, a single Rose,
that once was held, full in bloom.
Now,
It's fading petals have been cast.
Strewn about as papier-mâché’s,
before a crafters broom,
whose time has...

A voiceless emoted summer ran amok the muse music's mandolin strummer.

Arched building's olden archetecture is many awsome massive like hulks.

Gargoyles perch at building eve's set...
Mine eyes have failed to adjust...

At a craft fair, people’s projects
Proudly are displayed,
So would-be customers can stop
To see what they have made.

From jewelry to knitted hats,
To paintings, quilts and soaps,
The crafters eye each passerby;
A stop will raise their hopes.

I feel...

Oh, Poetry, why are you not
What we think you should be?
Have you not been forever malleable
Pliantly submissive beneath our hammers
Assuming forms that mimic or surpass
The master crafters lingering tones
A thickening of thinning edges
Slicing through the...

Carol singing,
Jingle bells ringing,
Cookie baking,
Eggnog making,
Shoppers shopping,
Temperatures dropping,
Kettle bells clanging,
Mistletoe hanging,
Package wrapping,
Crafters crafting,
Tree trimming,
Excitement brimming,
Lights flashing,
Children laughing,
Friends calling,
Snow falling,
(wishful thinking),
Cocoa drinking,
Families gathering,
Everyone chatting,
Faces glowing,
Love is flowing,
Church attending,
Knees bending,
Our hearts worshipping,
Christ our King.

Pleasant caresses for the ear,
Offers of phrases sweet to hear,
Everyone worthy to be heard,
Telling stories word by word.
Rare INFUSIONs for our eyes,
Young and old the poets rise

Placing word bricks for palace walls
As INEVITABLE memory recalls....
